I have a small fenced back yard and patio that I let my dog play in (weather permitting). I take my dogs on several walks a day and play with them in the house with various toys and tug ropes. And am able to settle any inside zoomies :) I love all dogs and know they love back scratches, gentle head relaxing pats that help soothe and calm them.

Sarah and Ben took such great care of Brady! I couldn’t have asked for a better setup for my golden. This in-home doggy daycare was the perfect mix of comfort and socialization—especially with another golden there to play with. I had peace of mind knowing that he was safe and being cared for during my long work shift. He came home tired and clearly very happy. The one-on-one attention, safe environment, and built-in playmate made all the difference.

Sarah has a very calm presence and is clearly experienced with dogs. Tavi had a great time visiting and walking with her.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
